The biscuit alone is one of the best I’ve had — and I don’t say that lightly. It’s fluffy on the inside, has a slight crunch on the outside, and is packed with flavor all on its own. I could genuinely eat these biscuits by themselves every day. No chicken, no toppings — just the biscuit. That’s how good it is. I’ve had a lot of great biscuits lately, but this one is no joke. People need to stop by here because this place is doing something special.
Portion sizes are solid across the board. This is not a small biscuit — it’s hefty and filling. The sides are also a good size. Whether you go with the grits or the homemade fries, you won’t be left wanting more.
I ordered the Fire Bird with a side of pimento cheese grits. The heat level is very manageable. It’s flavorful, not spicy-for-the-sake-of-spicy. I added both the sriracha mayo and the sriracha honey, and they added great flavor with just a little kick. For anyone worried about heat: you can order this with confidence. It’s not going to burn your mouth. And for those who know me — I’m not a spicy guy — this was completely enjoyable.
My wife ordered the Veggie sandwich, which comes on that same incredible biscuit with egg, arugula, avocado, and an aioli-style spread. Everything worked really well together, and it didn’t feel like a “backup” menu option at all. It’s fresh, balanced, and very satisfying — a great choice if you want something lighter but still full of flavor.
The pimento cheese grits were good, but I personally would go with the homemade fries next time. And when I say fries, I mean homemade fries — crunchy, seasoned perfectly, and packed with flavor. I could easily order two or three sides of these every visit.
We also grabbed the cinnamon bun, which is made fresh every Sunday morning, and I’m glad we happened to stop by on a Sunday. It was excellent. The glaze is hard to describe — creamy, smooth, and perfectly balanced. Not overly sweet, just right. They make a killer cinnamon bun.
The vibe is friendly and welcoming. Staff was extremely nice, and service was quick — there was barely any wait when we visited. Inside seating is clean and comfortable, and there’s also outdoor seating available. Prices felt very fair for the quality and portion sizes. You absolutely get your value here.
The only thing to be aware of is parking. There appear to be only one or two spots right near the cart, so you may need to park across the street, especially if it’s busy. I didn’t experience issues during my visit, but it’s something to plan for.
Overall, this place is doing it right. The menu looks like a lot of fun, and I already know I’ll be back multiple times just to try more of it. Highly recommended.
Brought my holiday guest who makes his Mama’s Georgia Biscuits from Scratch with White Lily Flour in Cast Iron. Overall, he liked The Farm Cart’s Biscuits. His only critique was the batter could use some salt. He had a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit.
My attempt to order got the Cashier very confused. What I was trying to do was order the Biscuits and Gravy with an a la carte Sausage Patty. What I got was two orders. I received the Biscuit and Gravy plus a Sausage Biscuit with Homemade Jam.
It’s definitely a light, fluffy and well made Biscuit. So I brought one Biscuit and the Homemade Jam home. I look forward to trying the Homemade Jam.
The Coffees were a mixed bag.
He ordered a House Hot Coffee and a side of Milk. He added several Sweetener Packages to his beverage and Cream. It was perfect! I know he typically adds about three packets of Sweetener to a beverage.
I ordered the Holiday Special Iced. It is a Spiced Orange Pomander with Espresso, Orange, Vanilla, Brown Sugar and Warm Spices. Considering i like my iced coffee sweet this beverage had too much Brown Sugar. Even I couldn’t drink it as prepared. It was way too sweet. I took it home and mixed it with Plain Iced Coffee.
To give you an idea how sweet the Holiday Pomander was today, I prepare a daily iced coffee at home. I make one of two iced coffees at home. One has One Sweet and Low, One Equal, and 5 Generous Squirts of Pancake Syrup in lieu of Simple Syrup. I also make 2 Cups of 3 Teaspoons of Instant Powdered Starbucks with about 4 – 6 Tablespoons of Brown Sugar and Honey.
So when I say the restaurant ‘s coffee was too sweet……
I think they should tell customers how much Brown Sugar they plan to use in this beverage or allow customers to order the amount of Brown Sugar.
Staff was great and friendly. Normally you bus your own table. However, someone came to bus our table for us as the restaurant wasnt too busy at the moment.
There are three dining areas. We sat indoors which has lightly colored furnishings. There’s Heated, Covered Outdoor Seating. Lastly, there are a few Uncovered Outdoor Tables.
We got there around 9AM or so on a Sunday. There was no college crowd yet. The parking lot was pretty full but we did find a space in the back.
I do want to give the restaurant a kudos for opting to have two gender neutral bathrooms that are handicap accessible. Although the bathrooms are a bit narrow for a Wheelchair or someone in a Wheelchair with an Assistant. The bathroom space is perfect if you are using a wheeled, handled roller.
It was the perfect breakfast for such an important occasion for us.
Will definitely return to try the lunch.
